"That's not necessarily true!"

Qi Shuang also drew his kunai, cautiously guarding, "Although the Transformation Jutsu can't mimic the changes of the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan has more than one person with the Byakugan!"

Immediately, looking at the "Hyuga Main Family" who was surrounded, the other three fell into deep thought.

It was impossible for ordinary people to mimic the changes of the Byakugan using the Transformation Jutsu, but Hyuga clan members could.

They already possessed the Kekkei Genkai of the Byakugan, so even if they transformed into the appearance of the Hyuga Main Family, they could still use the same Byakugan changes.

In other words, the person in front of them might not be the Hyuga Main Family, but they were definitely a Hyuga clan member.

"No matter who it is, take him down, and see if we can dispel the Transformation Jutsu, then we'll know who he really is!" Mei Terumi pouted, immediately forming hand seals and spitting a mouthful of milky white mucus at her opponent.

"Lava Release: Lava Globs Technique!"

The milky white mucus rapidly expanded in the air, transforming into a cotton quilt and covering the target below.

Seeing the white cotton quilt fall, the Hyuga Main Family's expression was very serious. Without hesitation, he dodged to the side and launched an attack at Zabuza.

Sizz!

The cotton quilt landed on the empty ground, and wisps of white smoke immediately rose around it.

The ground was being corroded.

Clang!

At the same time, Zabuza blocked the attack with his sword, but he was also pushed back several steps by a palm strike.

He immediately understood that the opponent's strength was far greater than his.

This was even with the opponent in a weakened state; if they were at their peak, a single palm strike would have been enough to send him flying.

On the other side, seeing that her opponent had dodged her Lava Release mucus without hesitation, Mei Terumi was somewhat surprised.

Under normal circumstances, people would be curious and test her ninjutsu.

They would either block it on the spot or throw ninja tools, and the result, of course, was that most of them died, disfigured.

Only a few lucky ones managed to survive due to their caution.

But this person in front of them, without any hesitation or curiosity, dodged it. This could not help but surprise her.

"Could it be that this guy knows my ninjutsu's effect?" she couldn't help but think.

Only then could she explain why the opponent wasn't curious at all.

"Perhaps, because I've attacked too many times today, this guy got my information from other Konoha ninjas!" she silently found a reasonable explanation for the opponent in her heart.

"Water Release: Bullet!"

The moment the cotton quilt missed, Ao formed hand seals and used a ninjutsu.

He opened his mouth and spat out a water ball. The water ball grew in size as it flew through the air, transforming into a high-pressure water bullet the size of a washbasin, shooting towards the "Hyuga Main Family."

"Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation!"

After repelling Zabuza with one strike, but not getting the expected result, the "Hyuga Main Family" seemed a little disappointed.

Sensing the water bullet attacking from behind, he immediately shifted his feet and began to spin, releasing chakra from the major acupoints around his body, forming a pale blue sphere with a diameter of about two meters.

Buzz!

The high-pressure water bullet hit the pale blue sphere without any fancy moves, but the sphere didn't budge.

Instead, the water bullet was rapidly worn down and shrunk by the force of the high-speed rotation.

In the blink of an eye, the water bullet was completely worn away, leaving a shallow puddle of water around the sphere.

"Let's see how long you can last!"

Seeing this, Qi Shuang took out five explosive kunai from his pouch and threw them.

Because he knew very well that the Hyuga clan's "Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation" was a barrier formed by chakra, combined with the power of high-speed rotation, it was difficult to break through with external force.

Even in the original work, he didn't remember anyone breaking through this move's defense head-on.

The title of "Absolute Defense" was not just for show!

He didn't have the confidence to break through this defense.

But there was no invincible technique in this world. The Hyuga clan's move, though strong, was not without its flaws.

Due to the high-speed rotation, this move placed a heavy burden on the user's body, so it could not be used continuously.

Furthermore, the outer chakra barrier originated from the user's chakra output. The longer the duration, the stronger the attacks it could withstand, and the greater the consumption of this move.

Currently, this person was using this move in a fatigued state, so it definitely couldn't last long.

He didn't need to forcibly clash with this "Rotation" technique; he just needed to use explosive tags to attack and increase the opponent's chakra consumption.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a deafening explosion, the smoke slowly dispersed, revealing a swaying figure.

"It seems he really can't hold on anymore!" Qi Shuang slightly curled his lips.

An enemy who couldn't even stand steadily was at the end of his rope.

However, none of them let their guard down.

"Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique"

Mei Terumi spat out another mass of milky white mucus.

"Water Release: Bullet"

At the same time, Ao also shot out a high-pressure water bullet, aiming for the target.

The two attacked from left and right, sealing off any possibility of the opponent dodging to either side.

Seeing Qi Shuang in front also forming hand seals, the "Hyuga Main Family" immediately abandoned the idea of moving forward and quickly retreated.

This was because his Byakugan, with its all-encompassing field of vision, saw the young boy wielding a sword charging from behind.

Rather than face the unknown Ninjutsu of the boy in front, he preferred to deal with the half-baked swordsmanship of the boy behind.

As for jumping into the air to dodge, he had no such intention.

At this moment, he was fighting four opponents alone without the cover of teammates. Jumping into the air would make him a sitting duck for the Ninjutsu of the boy in front.

Therefore, retreating was the more reasonable choice.

Bang!

The milky white mucus and the high-pressure water bullet collided, scattering water everywhere.

Meanwhile, the "Hyuga Main Family" was getting closer and closer to Zabuza's blade.

"Your swordsmanship still has a long way to go, but you have no chance now, brat!" Seeing the opponent's blade only a punch away, the "Hyuga Main Family" sneered and extended his palm.

This time, he was fully confident he could kill the opponent with a single blow!

"I don't think so!" Zabuza replied confidently.

He believed in his captain and his other two teammates.

Especially since Qi Shuang's Ninjutsu was still being prepared, it was clear that the opponent was waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to decide the outcome of the battle.

Just as the "Hyuga Main Family's" palm was about to land on Zabuza's head, a fluctuation of Chakra emanated from his feet.

"Ice Release: Ice Binding Technique"

From the shallow puddle on the ground, two white ropes suddenly shot out, instantly binding the "Hyuga Main Family's" hands and feet.

This was Qi Shuang activating the Ninjutsu he had prepared.

"How is this possible!"

The "Hyuga Main Family" widened his eyes, caught off guard by this sudden Ninjutsu.

He had originally thought that relying on his Byakugan, he could definitely kill the young swordsman while simultaneously dodging the other young boy's Ninjutsu.

However, he hadn't anticipated that the starting point of this Ninjutsu was not the young boy himself, but right by his own feet.

In that inconspicuous puddle!

His miscalculation, combined with the extremely close distance, meant he had no time to dodge the opponent's Ninjutsu and was immediately caught.
